BROADSIDE ARRAYAn array in which the direction of maximum radiation is perpendicular to the plane containing the elements [10] [18]. |
BRUSHESSliding contacts, usually carbon, that make electrical connection to the rotating part of a motor or generator [5]. |
BUFFERA voltage amplifier used between the oscillator and power amplifier [12]. |
BUFFER AMPLIFIERAn amplifier that isolates one circuit from another. It decreases the loading effect on an oscillator by reducing the interaction between the load and the oscillator [9] [18]. |
BUILT-IN TEST EQUIPMENT (BITE)A permanently mounted device that is used expressly for testing an equipment or system [14]. |
BUNCHER CAVITYThe input resonant cavity in a conventional klystron oscillator [11]. |
BUNCHER GRIDIn a velocity-modulated tube, the grid that concentrates the electrons in the electron beam into bunches [11]. |
BURNISHING TOOLA tool used to clean and polish contacts on a relay [3]. |
BUS BARA heavy copper strap or bar used to connect several circuits together when a large current-carrying capacity is required [4]. |
BYPASS CAPACITORA capacitor used to transfer unwanted signals out of a circuit; for example, coupling an unwanted signal to ground. Also called a DECOUPLING CAPACITOR [8]. |
